A few years ago I had to leave for Bangalore on the day of the Berkshire-Hathaway annual meeting in Omaha. We drove up to Omaha, as usual (3 hours from here) on Friday night. Saturday before the Meeting we went to OMA, checked me in, and went to the meeting. Around 2 PM we took a cab to OMA, my husband kissed me goodbye, I went to Bangalore (via ORD and LHR) and my husband continued to the hotel, picked uup our car and drove home.

I explained to my boss why I had to leave from Omaha and that we had the B shares, not the shares running $100K each. "Good", he said drily. "I was beginning to think we paid you too much."
